Praise for Rising Stars - Reading Planet;
The whole approach is making our children more excited and interested in reading which is the best thing you could ask from a reading scheme. Pete Richardson, Deputy Headteacher - Walton- le-Dale Primary School
The books expose the children to different topics, and link with other books and subjects we’re already teaching Polly Alford, EYFS Coordinator
Pupils who are more reluctant readers are growing in confidence when the online books are used as a focus for Guided Reading activities' Stephen Booth, Assistant Headteacher
We have several book band schemes in school and without question, it is the Reading Planet books that the children look out for time and time again. Pete Richardson, Deputy Headteacher
With a background as a theatre director and lecturer, Lou grew up on a remote sheep farm in Devon. There weren't many other children around so she used to put on plays with the chickens (absolutely true!) and tell stories to the lambs.
Lou now lives in London with her family and tells stories to them and to Willesden her dog. In this picture he is in the garden helping Lou write one of her Shrinking Violet books. Will says he came up with all the good jokes in that chapter!
Do have a read of Lou's books and see if you enjoy her funny stories … they are full of adventures, scrapes and mishaps (and a few APPALLING jokes which Willesden thinks are HILARIOUS!).
